1. The Bankriders are to have the control, management, and responsibility of the =Inclined Plane= and of the Trains passing down it.

2. The Bankrider is carefully to inspect the condition of every Train, and never attempt to move it until perfectly satisfied of the =sufficiency of the Breaks=.

3. He is not to allow any =Rubbish= or obstruction of any kind to be placed near the Rails on the Incline.

4. He is to pay particular attention to the =Signals= conveyed from Euston to Camden Station.

5. He is also to keep a sharp look-out for any Signal that may be given him to stop his Train on the =descent=, and he must be prepared to bring it to a stand at any time on receiving such Signal.
